¶ Flywheels
Index Entry
Flywheels:
"It is deliberately obscure for the New York Times to describe flywheels [30 Nov’75] as ‘storing inertial energy.’
"The wheels are inert only when motionless. Flywheels don’t store energy; they articulate energy. They are energy-articulate.
“The flywheel–like the congruent unity of single, double, triple, quadruple, and eightfold bonded vectors and vertices of topology–are superficially very deceptive. The same size wheel whose rate of revolutions is so high as to seem motionless may be active energy of many magnitudes–sometimes so great that the flywheels explode.”
